What Do You Truly Want?

To see 2nd Force in ourselves we must become conscious in 1st Force. What I wish to point out is simply that with a wrong 1st Force the whole inner state may be rendered ineffective and even dangerous— that is, one has a very bad relationship to oneself.

So it is the 1st Force that one has to look at and observe, and gradually become conscious of. What do you want? Consider in this connection the ideas contained in the Sermon on the Mount and the ideas in the Lord's Prayer.
